Description Charger's married, but when the infection broke out, she and her husband got separated and David was killed (presumably by zombies). She found his body after the fact, but couldn't spend much time grieving or burying him or anything because of all the zombies everywhere, so she had to keep moving. Eventually she met the other ladies and began traveling with them. She rarely talks about him, so the others have to drag it out of her piece by piece over a long period. LIKE SO. Sort of. Or like this .
She thinks about him a lot, but doesn't say so. Eventually her teammates begin to figure it out though.
ALTERNATELY after she found his body, she tried to escape their zoo (both Charger and David work at a zoo she runs) but was overrun at the gates and became a zombie, either way.

Originally I was going to do a whole series of pictures for Groove Coverage's In My Dreams/Far Away from Home but in the end this and one other thing were all I came up with. OH WELL.


Hungarian translation!



Charger (C) Left 4 Dead 2, although this survivor lady version is 's
Hunter (c) Left 4 Dead, although this survivor lady version is mine I guess

I think this is the first time I've honestly wanted to give Charger a big fucking hug ;____; yes. A hug and maybe pet that (gorgeously drawn) mess of a morning hair.

Nice to see Hunter is running around being her adorable self as usual, though.

I have a question I've been meaning to ask for a long time...and I'm sure you've answered it at least half a thousand times...is there names they have (smoker, jockey, charger, hunter) just nicknames they came up with or are you indicating that's their real names?

zarla In reply to Sticks06 [2011-07-13 03:14:53 +0000 UTC]

I think of them more as placeholders for now, and that someday they'll get real names.
